Welcome

[arno]

Welcome to this new section. I don't know how many tool developers are actually here, but we can use this place to discuss everything related to creating tools. So programming questions, GUI design questions or whatever you are stuck with.

You mean there are other tool developers apart from you Arno ;)

I think so Nick although Arno is a hard act to follow :) ;)

At least I will start the ball rolling by saying that I have a reasonable amount of experience in dotNET languages and C# and VB.NET in particular. Also DirectX.

Hello All

Richard Ludowise has informed me that a developper group was forming about scenery developpement. Thanks to him.
If you accept me, I will join you with a great pleasure.

My favorite language is VB 6.0, learning now C++; not so easy alone and a lot to understand and learn.

In a first step, my contribution could be in explaining the methods I have used if necessary, and in the design of the project.

I think there are 3 main steps before developping :
- define the language, libraries ...
- define the functionnal perimeter of the project
- define the corresponding GUI and the rules for graphical interface

For example : before using Resample.exe for covering the ground by Satellit photos, I have developped some tools :
- assemble screen shots in one bitmap
- extract a pseudo-rectangular area and make it rectangular (problem due to the areal projection)
...
Do you think that such modules will be integrated in a general tool ?

With my bad experience with Ground2K, I think that the source must be protected, restricted to the team.
It was not my opinion one year ago.

Hi Christian,

Good to see you here as well :D. Looking forward to your contributions here.

As you might have seen, we have made a special subforum for the new tool we are discussing currently.
